How amazing! Never knew it had such an origin.
See how much we've commercialized Christmas and swept its true meaning away.
Its such an amazing song!

Back to back.
You have got to be kidding me big time.

Been staying at home since sunday night,
and only been out of house once for a run.
Not bad, not bad.
My ideal version of a hiatus,
though not exactly one
since i'm perpetually on my laptop and my phone.
But home has the ease of access to
toilet, food, teevee and internet.
What more to ask for?
Haha.
Not forgetting a box of Royce Champagne Chocolates to top it off.
Ah, life is blissful.
Heehee.

Sam is returning home today!
We are so close to having a full reunion, but so tough.
Wonder how aggie is doing over at Tilburg.
Rachel wont be around for CNY,
and it will seem weird.

Thank God for giving me good friends to miss.
That i will treasure them even more.
Yes Lizz.
You all are gonna be my bridesmaid one day too!
<3 <3

“'Well,' said Owl, 'the customary procedure in such cases is as follows.'


'What does Crustimoney Proseedcake mean?'
said Pooh. 'For I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, and long words Bother me.'


'It means the Thing to Do.'


'As long as it means that, I don’t mind,' said Pooh humbly.'”
